jbreak has problems:

[1] It can not be triggered by J's window interface.  This means that
it either requires screen real-estate even when you are not using J,
or that it needs to be found when your system is heavily burdened by
some infinite loop in J.

[2] It is implemented in J in such a fashion that it can interrupt
itself.  And since it generally needs to be used when the system is
under heavy load, and since it requires spinning up several processes,
and since you typically need to run it twice, this quirk comes up more
than occasionally.

This does not make it unusable, but I keep wishing that the service
handler for J's window could have a pair of checkboxes in the title
bar, or something, that together accomplish the same thing as two
successful invocations of jbreak.

But perhaps there's some robustness constraint that prevents that approach?
